[d1giPhux]

1. clean / wax the car and she'll look 100x better.
2. get rid of stickers.
3. get an exhaust / muffler
4. get a new fender / rubber molding

other than that.. looks good man. just take care of ur car, and keep it clean! you dont need to go super fast, or be super loud to have a nice car man =]

what color did you ender up painting the grill?

[alterian]

i have searched and searched for a fender and i just cant find any i have looked all over the place plus i dont have the money to have the car painted and at least with the fender i have its red a new fender wont be

[d1giPhux]

Yea, true that. You could always just gheto paint it for the time being.. get some rio red paint from napa or something. This is a bit expensive, if u didnt wnana go the route of going through the trouble of finding one cheap and getting it painted / ghetto painting it :

I'm quite sure they're one of the few things that are cheap from a dealer, at least mine were when we rebuilt my BD.

Ok, here's the deal.

1. Your BD will never be "fast" as in 1/4 mile fast, unless you plonk down some serious change for WRX/STi parts and install a boost-friendly engine, plus engine management (EM).

2. Your car can be quick around corners and handle very well with a few simple mods.

3. Quickest way to improve your quickness - dump all unnecessary weight - that means the subs. Get 16" wheels and good tires. Traction = grip on corners, which = quicker lap times. Biggest mistake I see people make is buying 17 or 18" rims and chucking cheap-ass all seasons on them.

Next thing will be to improve the suspension.

4. Keep the car clean. People notice a clean, smooth looking ride far more than some stickered up, blanged out, loud-ass dented tin can. A tidy car screams "class".

Bottom line, "real" fast cars look fast because they ARE fast. Cars that "look" fast , usually are not. Your car looks neither fast, nor quick right now. But there are some simple things you can do to recover from the spiralling fate of bad taste and poor mod selection.

What everyone else said...and...

Please repaint those gaudy trim pieces on the interior. ugh.

I guess it's your car, your choice, and you can go with whatever you like.

But I'm gonna guarantee you'll outgrow it!

[Sarra]

Heh, I dunno, my BK has fake wood trim around the window controls, and ONLY around the window controls. Having an odd colored trim piece doens't seem as if it would be a horrible thing...

[shazapple]

I kinda like the red/black interior. not something I would do though

[overl0ad]

errr... is that an auto i see?

the red can be nice, if it's not overdone.

use different shades of it. the red should be a highlight, not a center piece.

just my 2 cents.

This is what I'd do first.



Your Fog light looks twisted, I'd fix that because its scientifically proven that an obstructed / crooked passenger side fog light causes unwanted vortexs in the whole aerodynamics physics of the car, thus resulting in higher 1/4 mile times.



Remove all items circled in yellow. Fast and Furious cars are Subaru's Arch Nemesis. Boxer engines are pre-programmed to recognize any sort of rice-mods on their bodies which in return result in poor MPG, slow pick up, increased attraction to stones, pebbles, "fuglies", etc.



The piece of plastic on the top of vehicle should immediately be omitted. We here at SL-i really have no idea what its purpose is (if it even has one) and would advise you to not hesitate on the removal procedure. If refusing to do so will result in earth shattering consequences! Also, remove all stickers on passenger side of vehicle as well.

Once these three "errors" are corrected, we can continue to offer our extraordinary support. Remember, we are only here to help you and steer you in the right direction.. away from the evil clutches of RICE!!

This is what you should get after wards but only in red:

JD - that piece of plastic on the top is stock

That's an moonroof air deflector. It's not stock, but it's an option and an after-purchase accessory.

[badbasser98]

It functions very well, but takes away from the lines of the car. This is the only reason I removed mine. Be cautious though as it will be pretty nasty under there, and the clear is most likely scratched as well...

I actually kind of wish i had one of those, because then you can open your sunroof a crack when its raining / snowing out or whatever.. i think thats their main purpose? But then again, it does take away from the lines of the car.. so id rather not. I'll just use the tilt option on my moonroof to make the rain go up and over. HAH.

[badbasser98]

actually, its main purpose to reduce wind noise when you have the glass slid back into the roof leaving an open hole. If you have driven without a deflector and with one, its like night and day. Its crazy loud without one, and you can't even hear it at speed with the radio on with one...

If you drive with the roof popped up, its louder with the deflector than without it. I usually drive with the roof popped up than slid back. So for me it was better for more than cosmetic reasons to remove it.

yep, I hated mine, but it was scratched from dirt and vibrationssss

[warrior]

Nonetheless, it must go!!!

[Sarra]

The moon roof air deflector has a second purpose: It keeps people from standing up through your moonroof.

[deadlydave]

it also preserves the longevity of the front of the moon roof gasket. Mine has been on the car since the day the 1st owner bought it, i took it off once and realized that it was gonna stay on because i can't afford to paint the gouge it left. At first I didn't like it, but now I'm used to it.
